Ready Grow your Clientbase? 5 Ultimate Project Management Templates

Just wrapped up your latest contract and swamped with potential clients? Do you want them, but not sure if you can take the extra load? We currently have 13 active projects and 18 open products. We’d love to share with you how we do project management.

First thing: we just use simple spreadsheets.

We’d love to share with you the 5 simple templates that help our teams every day.

Oursky Project / Team Index Template

Your index will be simple if everything else is well documented. The index is helps everyone find all of the company’s projects (active, and occasional updates), the PM and the team leaders. This means anyone from from the company can contact the right person and also learn more about what other people are doing. Also, it helps the company see if we are at capacity.

We use Quip to do transparent company documentation on everything from our salary calculator, to our project timelines and guidelines.

Developer Timeline Template

We’ve automated our dates for the spreadsheet. This Google Spreadsheet is also a documentation for all the work we’ve done for the past 2 years. We just keep adding. You can see how different team members have different weekly schedule breakdowns. Some focus exclusively on one project while others contribute to multiple projects.

This standup template is for transparency so that the entire company can see when various project meetings are. Even if you don’t need this template because your team is quite small, we strongly advise that your company has a standup meeting to recap on learnings, bottlenecks, and that day’s task list.

The world awaits!
